In Memory

Kasey Schnepp - Class Of 1988

Pastor Kasey A. Schnepp, 40, of 115 W. 10th St., died at 7:50 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 7, 2010, as a result of an automobile accident south of Delphi.

He was born on Jan. 6, 1970, in Lafayette, graduated from Delphi High School in 1988, received his license to preach from the Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church License to Preach School in summer 2009 and was studying business administration at Ivy Tech Community College.

His marriage was to Catherine J. Hutsell in Delphi, on Nov. 19, 1988, and she survives.

Pastor Schnepp worked for three years at the former Gerber Globe Valve and for 15 years at the former Peters-Revington Furniture factory, both in Delphi. He had been pastor at Colburn United Methodist Church for three years, and was appointed pastor of Burlington United Methodist Church in November. He was a leader with the Emmaus Walk and taught Bible study and Sunday school. He enjoyed camping with his family, paintball, bowling, euchre card games and spending time on the family farm.

Surviving with his wife are a son, Zachary A. Schnepp, and a daughter, Jessica M. Schnepp, both at home; his parents, Leslie A. and Pamela J. Humphrey Schnepp of Wood Dale, Ill.; and a brother, Kevin Schnepp (wife: Jennifer) of rural Carroll County.

He was a devoted husband and father, and dearly loved his wife, children, parents, brother, grandmother and all of his extended family and close friends. Also surviving are his paternal grandmother, Mary E. Schnepp of rural Carroll County, and mother- and father-in-law, Homer and Wanda Hutsell of Monticello. Preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Robert. Kasey preached his funeral on Monday, Jan. 4.

I have many fond memories of Kasey as he was my cousin and I enjoyed the many visits we had with his family. I particularly enjoyed the bicycle ride we took to Edna Mills from his home on County Line Rd. when he was about 11 years old and how he beat me both ways riding. I thought I was a pretty good rider as I had just traveled by bicycle from Mesa, AZ. to Delphi. The other great memory was just after he graduated from D.C.H.S. and he and I took a drive to Lockport et.al. We discussed his future and he informed me that he wanted to marry Cathy and then become a minister. Well, in fact he did both and they have two great children to remember his legacy and to carry on his love and work until we all meet again. He is missed already and will continue to be so, but I am sure he is fellowshipping with his Grandfather Schnepp, Grandparents Humphrey and his cousin Stel McCormick today and will do so eternally. We love and miss you, Reed McCormick and Family

My son.. My Kasey...how do I write a memorial about all you are to me. Memories are now treasures. I know our faith tells me and I believe we will be together again..but until then, I will be missing part of my soul

Its been 8 months , My Kasey..or is it only 8 minutes? Time has not made this easier, my heart does not ache any less, the loss of you is felt more everyday. My only comfort is in knowing you are in Peace and Wellness, where Faith passes all understanding.
